Selecting and Playing Styles
The PSR-290 provides dynamic rhythm/accompaniment patterns (styles) — as well as voice
settings appropriate for each style — for various popular musical categories.
A total of 135 different styles are available, in several different categories. Each style is made up of separate
“sections” — Intro, Main A and B, and Ending — letting you call up different accompaniment sections as you
perform.
The auto accompaniment features that are built into the rhythms add the excitement of instrumental backing to
your performance, letting you control the accompaniment by the chords you play. Auto accompaniment effec-
tively splits the keyboard into two areas: The upper is used for playing a melody line, and the lower (set by
default to keys F#2 and lower) is for the auto accompaniment function.
The PSR-290 also features the convenient Dictionary function (page 45). Dictionary provides you with a built-
in “chord encyclopedia” that teaches you how to play any chord you specify by showing you the appropriate
notes in the display.
